Day 20 Christmas Post

Today's post begins the final week of my 25 days of Christmas. What fun it's been to create a new project every day.

The stamp sets used on this card were Patterned Pines and Four the Holidays, both from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Colors are Not Quite Navy, Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke, Confetti White and Whisper White (craft ink for the "Peace on Earth" image).

The pine tree is the center tree from the trio of trees on the stamp. I used an Always Artichoke craft spot to ink just the center tree and stamped it onto a piece of Always Artichoke card stock. Then, it was embossed with Clear embossing powder and cut out and attached to the Confetti White card stock with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love those things!

To give just a little pizzaz, I added a light blue rhinestone brad from the Square Ice Rhinestone brads.

I hope you will check back tomorrow.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
